2 additional antibodies successfully validated for western blotting

Two additional antibodies for their utilization in western blotting are successfuly validated. Specifically, one antibody specific for the detection of PI3K p85 /p55 (pTyr467) has been validated in the human cell line HeLa, while no band was visible in the insect cell line C6/36. Additionally Breast Cancer 2, Early Onset (BRCA2) could be detected in the human cell line MCF7. Human CAPAN-1 cells were used in this assay as negative control.

In mid 2013 the "Independent Validation Initiative" started as a partnership between Science Exchange and antibodies-online.com. The project aims to enable scientists to select products (presently antibodies or ELISA kits) of their interest to be validated by labs from top academic research institutes.

If you are interested in having a product validated, you can simply click the "Request validation" button on the product site. When requesting a validation you can specify the application the product should be validated for. Validation is free for all customers and costs will be covered by the respective supplier.
